What do you do when children seem to have outgrown traditional PCIT? For children who are showing behavior problems that would normally benefit from PCIT but are too big to carry to time-out or for those who are too mature to enjoy the high rate of PRIDE skills and positive attention that the little kids love, there is an adaptation for older children that is proving helpful.
